  • To this day, Carcassonne is the largest and best-preserved medieval fortress in Europe, being one of the most visited monuments in France.
    Subscribe for more awesome content -» ‪@ES.Forgotten‬
    The Cité of Carcassonne has about 2500 years of history and has been occupied in different ages by Romans, Visigoths, and Crusaders.
    In 1659, after the Treaty of the Pyrenees, the province of Roussillon became a part of France and the city lost its military significance, resulting in its abandonment.
    The French Government, in 1849, decided that the city fortifications should be demolished, but with the help of Jean-Pierre Cros-Mayrevieille, a campaign was launched to preserve the fortress as a historical monument. The government later reversed its decision and in 1853 restoration works began by the architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc.
    The Cité of Carcassonne, with three kilometers of ramparts, consists of two walls, 52 towers, barbicans, beautiful streets, and the superb Gothic cathedral, as well as the castle. In 1997, it was added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites because of its exceptional testimony to the architecture and planning of a medieval fortress town.

    OMG, Danny, I can see why this is one of the most popular historical tourist attractions in France. 😮 It has something for everyone. It is truly nothing but history personified. I think this has been one of your best tours on this channel so far. My personal favorite parts? I loved the school museum. You can really see the love that went into restoring it and making it an educational experience, right down to the period-correct mannequins. Perfect! And seeing the castle itself with its multiple military attack points was fascinating. It gives you a real feel for how warfare was conducted in ancient times. But for me the ultimate feature was the cathedral. ⛪ I've always loved seeing churches, chapels and cathedrals.......but this one is on another level. The stained glass alone was breath-taking. Honestly, you can easily get so caught up in it that you forget to take in the rest of the architecture. Stunning! All in all, this video must have taken you forever to edit and put together for this channel. Yet another labor of love on your part. Thanks for this wonderful video tour, Danny! And a special round of applause 👏 for Lesley stepping in as camera man 🎥!

When we have an off day. From that time on I would go back every chance I could. While working in France. It is like you step back in time. Going there all seasons of the year. standing on the ramparts or just walking around. Then hitting a cafe to enjoy some coffee and lunch. Always a treat. With all there is to see and enjoy in and around Toulouse. To anybody visiting or working there it's something you should really try to fit in. You'll understand once you've gone.

    The bronze depiction of the city around the architect's monument does not have roofs over the towers because originally they were exposed to the elements and did not have roofs. The roofs were one of the controversial things added to the town as a 19th century decorative element.

    Great stuff. I spent a couple of days exploring Carcassonne 25 years ago on a 3 week train trip though France starting at Calais and ending at Tarragona in Spain with long stops at many french towns and cities. I remember I got a terrible sunburn in Carcassonne after falling asleep in the Sun. Too much wine with a beautiful lunch at one of the many splendid restaurants I think.

    I traveled to Spain with my parents in the mid-1970s and we saw an awful lot of cathedrals while we were there, they were all gorgeous, but I was pretty tired of that style of architecture by the time our vacation was over in three weeks. I vaguely remember a few of the really famous ones, but not enough to tell you anything about them.
    Another trip I took with my high school class had us taking a train from London up to York, and I do remember a few things about York Minster that kind of blew my mind. They took all the Stainglass out of the windows during World War II so it wouldn’t get destroyed. And then they restored the glass and put it all back afterwards. But one thing they discovered while they had the glass out is that. They couldn’t make some of the colors anymore. They had lost the technology to make reds or blues. I’m not sure anymore but it sure seems strange that people from the 1400s had better science technology for glass coloring then we do today!

    Hey Danny and Lesley! What a wonderful Saturday surprise to see an adventure posted today on ES Forgotten channel... First, what an amazing looking fortified city to explore in. Second, what an absolutely stunning interior church view!! Those stained glass images are unbelievably beautiful... Lesley has learned much technique in filming from your working together. His drone camera work was beautiful as usual! So much history contained inside and outside of those walls that you can forgive/forget that they are not all original. Hell, even restoration done in the 1860's is historical... Wonderful information provided by you from your research as usual! One question I have is: is there any explanation for the arching/curved shading of light and dark that seem to align on the exterior walls and towers around 31:20? Anyway, beautifully done job guys and thanks again for taking us along on this explore adventure!! Epic bloopers too Danny, thanks in part to your novice cameraman, lol... Best regards and travel safe, Eric W. Oh, and one more thing... When you were in the school museum and Lesley was insinuating that you Danny, would always be "in the corner..." wearing the "Ane" cap. To paraphrase the line from the movie 'Dirty Dancing': No one puts Danny in a corner...

Again I really enjoyed very much listening to your historical background narration. Respect, Danny! You are a very good and knowledgeable guide with a high history competence. I also loved the good camerawork from Lesley and the educational conversations with him. - The cathedral was simply overwhelming to see. I also loved that school museum with the many original exhibits. Very interesting to see. - The towers, the enormous main gate and the fortifications, that all was so impressive to see. - I would say, that this is one of your best and most outstanding documentations, dear bro! - And at the end the dessert: the bloopers, which are hilarious and made me laugh! Simply wonderful, Danny! I am looking very much forward to your next video!

    Amazing video about one of my favorite site in France ! Your drone shots are beautiful and give quite an astounding view of the City !
    Just two small percisions about your video (maybe you already know but in the video it wasn't explained so maybe just for the viewers ;) ):
    - The legend of the thrown pig does not end there : first, it was meant to discourage the attackers by showing them that the City still had plenty of food to endure the siege. SO much that they could waste a fat pig and a lot of grain. The fact that the City was Muslim doesn't necessarily mean that all inhabitants were : it is said that Dame Carcass converted to Islam but back in the days, and still recently in some muslim countries (in Tanger, Morocco for instance in the '60s), eating pork was not seen as the worst thing you could do. You could do that out of necessity for example. Even more : in these times, the Muslim territories in Europe were far more tolerant in terms of religion and customs thant their Christians counterparts, way more dogmatics and authoritarians (that is mainly the reason why it was so easy for the Muslims to conquer Europ, and so hard for the Christians to take it back : even non-muslim people living in muslim territories fought hard against the cruel, filthy and uneducated "barbarians" that were the christians armies... And to finish the legend, it is said that, as the attacking army set off the siege (led by Charlemagne himself if we can believe it), Lady Carcass ordered all the bells of the City to ring (to ring is "sonner" in french) so it gave the phrase "Dame Carcass sonne (les cloches / the bells) !" Hence, Carcassonne... Well, it's the legend anyway ;p
    - The second point is the "name" of the Castle : "Château Comtal". By watching your video we hear it like "Comtal" is the name of the Castle when in reality it's a type or adjective. "Château comtal" literally means "The Castel of the Count (Comte, in french)", so it is more a precision about the type of castle and the nature and standard of its landlord than a name in itself ;)

    Great video!! (17:50 - In the US, this is called a "reel-to-reel film projector". When I was an elementary and secondary school student in the mid-1960s to late 1970s, this type of projector was everywhere at public schools. Most teachers had to have the skill to "feed" the film from one reel to the other reel and to run the projector. Some of the (mechanically-inclined) boys would learn how to do this as well, to assist the teacher.)

    That wonderful entrance is the back entrance. The front entrance is on the other side facing south. It is filled with debris and is not usable. When it was used, it was heavily fortified, and was intimidating.

      En France (comme en Italie, en Espagne, en Allemagne ou dans d'autres magnifiques pays d'Europe), nous vivons entouré de ces monuments, modestes ou spectaculaires, discrets ou ostentatoires, pittoresques ou audacieux : Egises, Cathédrales, arènes et théâtres antiques, temples et aqueducs romains, palais, forteresses, châteaux, immeubles anciens dans les vieilles cités et où vivent encore des occupants...

    There are several layers of the town There are roman parts in the walls, there is medieval and modern places in the walls . It fell into disrepair under Napoleon who wanted to pull it down when cannons made it obsolete as a fortress. Then the people complained and it was then saved to history.
